yep. The blood work for the trials is simple, standard, and basic...no need to send it to San Calos; in fact, it would be a pain in the neck to do so and no benefit, unless Dr BP is doing more assays, outside the province of the trials. And why explicitly include the full, fancy panel for m/m trials and nothing for s/c & Dr BP running the panels outside the trials? It seems odd, so I fall back to the null hypothesis that neither BP nor NP have enough info to surmise the s/c results from the blood data they have. For m/m, though, BP may well have enough info to make some good guesses about the clinical status of the patients in each arm, but he probably does not have the clinical data for the patients so there is still some guessing.
